have provided directions on how to watch on kweliTV on a number of
devices to your television.

Amazon Firestick

1) RECOMMENDED! Use your Fire TV to wirelessly display your phone or tablet screen on your TV screen. Click here for the directions on how to use your phone or tablet to stream on your Fire Stick.

2) Use the "Downloader" browser on your Fire Stick. First, you would need to download
“Downloader,” an app that helps Fire TV owners surf the web and
install popular apps not available from the Fire TV app store. It has
just released version 1.1.1 with a built-in web browser. Now you can
surf the web on your Fire TV and Fire Stick without needing a mouse or
keyboard. Once you download the “Downloader” app, access the web like
you normally would. Type in "kweli.tv" in your web browser and sign in
and watch content just as you would on your computer.

If you have streaming issues while in Downloader, go to
"Settings" in Downloader in the menu of the left hand side and click
"Enable JavaScript" Download “Downloader.”

SmartTVS

SAMSUNG

You may "mirror cast" from your phone, computer or tablet to your SmartTV. Most Samsung smartphones include a
Screen Mirroring or Smart View feature which enables screen mirroring
with Samsung Smart TVs and other smart devices. You may
be able to connect your non-Samsung smart device to a Samsung TV but
this will depend on the manufacturer of the non-Samsung device and the
age and model of your Samsung TV. Download the SmartView app. Here are the directions for viewing kweliTV on your SmartTV.

VIZIO

Download this Vizio app for iPad/iPhone OR for Android/GooglePlay;
Connect your device (iPad/iPhone) to the same WiFi network on your
Vizio; Open the Vizio app and sync it with your tv (red button); Open
the Chrome browser on your device (If you do have it, download it here for iOS OR here for Andriod/GooglePlay); Visit www.kweli.tv; Sign in; Click a movie to watch; At the bottom right of the video player click the little TV looking icon ; Click Play on TV

Game consoles

Several video game consoles allow you
to view movies online in addition to playing video games. All you need
to do is make sure your video game system is connected to the Internet
through your home network. Through Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo game
systems, access the web like you normally would. Type in "kweli.tv" in
your web browser and sign in and watch content just as you would on your
computer. It will display on the TV connected to the gaming system.

>>HDMI CABLE (DIY)

If you do not have a streaming device or smart TV and YOU WOULD like to watch kweliTV on your television, here's how!

Source: Tom's Guide

Connect to a PC or a Mac to TV:

Which cable you'll use to connect a PC or Mac to a larger display will depend on the display output on your computer. Many newer PCs and Macs have an HDMI port, so a regular HDMI cable might do the trick. Svelte laptops sometimes have a smaller HDMI port, called mini HDMI, or an even smaller jack, known as micro HDMI. But no matter which cable you need, expect to pay about $10 for a 6-foot cable.

In other cases, you'll need an adapter. For example, for PCs with a DVI video output, you can use Monoprice's $8.25 DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable. However, this won't bring audio to your TV. You'll have to either listen through your PC's speakers (or headphones) or run a cable from the headphone jack on the PC to an audio input on the TV (if it has one).

For some Macs, a Monoprice Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, which runs about $12, will do the trick. Macs built after late 2009 can use the HDMI cable for both audio and video. For audio, older Macs will need to use the computer speakers, the headphones or a separate cable from the headphone jack to the TV.

If your computer has only a blue,
analog VGA port, hooking the machine up to your TV requires a bunch of
hardware, making the process more trouble than it's worth. But if your
computer is that old, it may be time to upgrade, anyway.

Connect Android Smartphone or Tablet to TV:

You can push video from most Android devices to an HDTV or 4K set through Mobile High-Definition Link, or MHL. To check that your TV can accept the feed, first look for an MHL logo above one of the HDMI ports on the back of your set.

In most cases, if you have an HDTV with MHL built in, all you need is a micro USB-to-HDMI cable that plugs into the port on your mobile device and into the MHL-enabled HDMI input on the TV. Many newer Android phones use the reversible USB Type-C port, but similar cables are available for those phones. Take note, however, that some Samsung Galaxy devices, just to be different, require a special cable to connect to an MHL TV. Fortunately, no matter which cable you need, they are all available for about $10 for a 6-foot cord.

The MHL Consortium publishes a partial list of MHL-supported devices on its website (http://www.mhltech.org/devices.aspx). If you don't see your mobile device listed, check with the manufacturer. The latest version of MHL, movie buffs will be happy to note, supports 4K video, which new phones from the likes of LG also support.

HDMI ports on older TVs don't support MHL, so you'll need an MHL-to-HDMI adapter to supply the power. Several models are available from Monoprice for less than $25 each. You may need to plug your device's charger into the adapter to provide extra power (the phone's screen usually has to stay on during playback).

Select Google Nexus and LG G-series phones and tablets make use of a competing technology called SlimPort, as do all Amazon Fire devices. The benefit is that SlimPort doesn't require additional power. To hook up a SlimPort system to a TV, simply purchase a SlimPort-to-HDMI adapter. Then, attach the SlimPort cable to your phone and the HDMI end to your TV, just as you would with an MHL device.

Special note: MHL and SlimPort adapters are not cross-compatible, so be sure to get the proper adapter for your specific device.

A more convenient option for those with SlimPort gadgets is the SlimPort Nano-Console: a small and simple box that essentially turns your SlimPort device into a TV-ready streaming device or Android gaming console. The Analogix SlimPort Nano-Console, for example, comes with cables for a variety of devices, but at $55, it's considerably more expensive than a straightforward cable.

Connect an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to TV:

Apple sells a Lightning digital AV adapter that accomplishes the same thing as the Android cables. (A 30-pin version of the adapter is also available if you have an older iOS device.) This is essentially an HDMI adapter for your iOS device: On one end, there's a Lightning plug (or 30-pin adapter for older devices), and on the other end is an HDMI port. Use any HDMI cable to go from the adapter to your TV's HDMI port.

The $49 Lightning adapters can handle 1080p video, and they work with all iPhones, iPads and iPod
touches that have the Lightning port. The 30-pin digital AV adapter
sells for $39 and requires an iPhone 4, iPad 2 second generation or iPod touch fourth generation or later.
